Lastly, we firmly believe in the power of having a diverse team and look forward to the impact of this latest engagement. Here’s a note from Sabine:

“Food allergies impact a huge part of the population worldwide. Alerje is using human centered design, develops innovative technologies, and is building a suite of products to holistically tackle the market. Since I am personally affected by a severe food intolerance, I am excited to empower Javier and his team at Alerje by using my experience building companies and products that humanize technology at the intersection of technology, data, and the body.”
